Commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae plays an important role in the traditional winemaking industry. In this study, the correlation of microbial community and aroma compound in the process of alcohol fermentation of Cabernet Sauvignon by four different commercial starters was investigated. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the fermentation parameters of the four starters, but there were differences in microbial diversity among the different starters. The wine samples fermented by CEC01 had higher microbial abundance. GC-MS detected a total of 58 aromatic compounds from the fermentation process by the experimental yeasts. There were 25 compounds in the F6d variant, which was higher than in other samples. The PCA score plot showed that 796 and F15 yeast-fermented wines had similar aromatic characteristic compositions. According to partial least squares (PLS, VIP > 1.0) analysis and Spearman’s correlation analysis, 11, 8, 8 and 10 microbial genera were identified as core microorganisms in the fermentation of 796, CEC01, CECA and F15 starter, respectively. Among them, Leuconostoc, Lactobacillus, Sphingomonas and Pseudomonas played an important role in the formation of aroma compounds such as Ethyl caprylate, Ethyl caprate and Ethyl-9-decenoate. These results can help us to have a better understanding of the effects of microorganisms on wine aroma and provide a theoretical basis for improving the flavor quality of Cabernet Sauvignon wine.
